OUR COMPANY

We have called our Film Company ‘Titanium Entertainment’ because titanium is dominant and strong, this represents that our film will be strong built and be dominated against other films.

OPENING SCENEFlash back - • A young boy is at a gravestone with his sister visiting his dad and mom• Zooming out to family photo mom and dad crossed out• It then zooms out back to the gravestone where you see the villain

visiting his wife telling her about what he is doing and why he wont kill the boy because he is too young and will wait till he is older.

• Fades to the sister walking to lesson in school and having a normal day• Cuts to walking home from school, see footsteps from another person• See that the sister is being followed by someone but you don’t see the

face• Sister walks into house, see villain waiting on the edge of the curb• Sister goes outside to feed her dog, villain comes • Violence occurs, see sister has been killed• Cuts to present day, 20 years later• Desk, family photo and police badge are placed• Investigation form, mug shot of villain wanted• Phone rings, ‘3 down lets make it 4’

OVERALL VISION

The villain of the story wants revenge on an ordinary family for accidently killing his wife who ran out in the middle of the road. The flashback at the start shows how the villain got revenge by killing the family members except for the young boy. 20 years later the young boy has grown up to be a police officer and changed his identity so the villain cant find him and also to try and find the murderer of his family, but the villain is trying to kill the policeman. The plot will follow through of the two of them trying to discover each others identity and finish each other off. In the end it is a big battle between the two characters, hero and villain, for the matter of life and death. The end scene is both of the characters, the villain takes off his mask for the first time, revealing his identity of his dads long lost brother, ends with both of the characters pointing a gun at each others head, the sound of a shotgun is played, the scene then ends with a cliff hanger as you don’t get to see who dies.

QUESTIONNAIRES

After we asked 100 people where they think a thriller film is normally based we came up with some results.We found out that the school was the least, so we decided to only use a small section of the opening in the school as it will fit into the film. Also because a home is the most we decided to film more in the house than at school.

LOCATION

We have decided the following locations because they are the most popular ones in the questionnaires we did previously.We decided to have it based in a graveyard because it creates mystery.We decided to also have it based in a school and at home to show an ordinary setting with extra ordinary situations occur.

COSTUMEVillain – • Half face back over the eyes – to hide some of his identity• Black leather gloves – shows cleverness by hiding his finger prints• Black clothing – most popular when asked in questionnaireSister – • School Uniform – shows ordinary person as she goes to school

In the family photo – Mother – • Formal clothing – shows ordinary personDad – • Police outfit – shows his jobSister – • Formal wear i.e long skirt and blouse – to show they are a smart familyBrother – • Polo shirt, trousers – show smartly dressed

THEMES

The following themes will be included in our film;• Revenge – villain on the family, boy on villain• Obsession – villain to the family• Crime – villain kills sister• Investigation – boy needs to find the identity of the villain

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience will be a 15. This means that violence is allowed to be show and some swearing is allowed to be involved but not too much or it will change into an 18. Also because it will be a 15 we can challenge the audience and make the story line confusing to work out in the opening.

CONVENTIONS

The conventions that will be used in our thriller will be:• Identity – mask on villain to hide who he is• Violence – gun, crime scene• Tension – when girl is being followed • Questions raised about the narrative – who the villain is• The opening will built the plot through out
